Incredible job Kacie! I am so impressed with your mental toughness... Very very well done, you should be so proud of yourself!

[redrhodie]

My favorite part of your report was when you tried make yourself to throw up. That sums it up for me. You are made of something else. Iron. Yeah, iron.

The type of person you are isn't determined by what you do on a good day. It's what do you do when you're having a crappy day. You could still joke and cheer and be happy for your friends. You found the mental strength to keep going and finish what you started, without killing yourself, or bringing back your injuries. You persevered and you should be proud.

I'd hang out with you.

Totally, 100% agree.

I love the race report - I came here after reading it on twitter. Sometimes humble pie is what we eat, but we live to fight another day.

You didn't quit. You smiled. You finished. And you finished with an absolutely respectable time. It's virtually impossible to compare one Ironman to another, even the same course year after year, because in a race like that, there are SO MANY variables and they all get magnified at that scale of distance.

Again, congrats.

Awesome job, Kacie! I'm so impressed that you were suffering so but kept pushing on. You truly are an Ironwoman!

Hmmm, my reply from yesterday is gone??

Kacie - thanks for the awesome race report. It really helps me put into perspective my silly little race on Saturday. You certainly showed what you are made of in a situation like that - and like someone else mentioned, it's clearly IRON. I'm very impressed with your fortitude and your strength.

I was actually thinking about you last night in my cycling class when I didn't think I could hit my numbers for the last interval. I thought about what you did on Saturday and realized how silly I was being about a measly 10 minute interval. A healthy dose of HTFU and I managed to pull out the best interval of the night. So...thank you. I needed the reality check. And I won't forget it, either.

You are my hero.

Totally impressed!
